ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE 

Monday, August 24, 2009
3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS

206 East 3rd Street, Second Floor

1.      Approval of Minutes August 10, 2009 - Stephanie Kalasz

2.      Events Recycling Policy - Dwight Curtis

Since the City of Moscow has a long standing and continuing commitment
for creating and maintaining a sustainable environment, Staff was
approached by the Sustainable Environment Commission with the idea of
establishing an event recycling policy.  The purpose of such a policy
would be to increase recycling at events held in City parks and other
facilities in order to reduce landfill waste, promote recycling, educate
the general public, and support recycling concepts and programs. This
would build upon existing, successful event recycling which is already
taking place within our community.  The policy would require a fifty
dollar ($50) deposit to be paid to the City in addition to any City Park
and/or facility rental charges for events where the event coordinator or
City reasonably anticipates the attendance of more than fifty (50)
participants.  The recycling deposit fee would be returned to the event
coordinator upon the completion of successful recycling for which the
deposit is made.  The Parks and Recreation Commission are very
supportive of recycling efforts.  However, their consensus on this
proposed program is that it is not very user friendly.  But, since this
will be considered a "pilot" program, adjustments can be made later if
needed.  The program would be managed through the Parks and Recreation
Department.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the Events Recycling Policy or take such
other action deemed appropriate.

3.      Rack Space Lease - Jesse Flowers

Staff has been approached by Noel Communications with a request to lease
rack space in City Hall.  Staff has prepared a draft lease agreement in
accordance with the Fiber Use Policy that was adopted by the City
Council on December 18th 2006.  The lease agreement would be for a term
of 3 years.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the lease agreement or take such other
action deemed appropriate.

4.      Fiber Lease - Jesse Flowers

Staff has been approached by First Step Internet, Noel Communications,
and Cactus International with a request to lease fiber optic strands
from the City staff has prepared a draft lease agreements in accordance
with the Fiber Use Policy that was adopted by the City Council on
December 18th 2006.  The lease agreements would be for a term of 3
years.

ACTION:  Recommend approval of the three leases or take such other
action deemed appropriate.

CITY OF MOSCOW

PUBLIC WORKS/FINANCE COMMITTEE

Monday, August 24, 2009
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS 

206 East 3rd Street, 2nd Floor 

1.      Approval of Minutes of August 10, 2009 - Stephanie Kalasz

2.      Snow Management Report - Dwight Curtis

The Snow Removal Task Force identified nine key issues with the present
snow removal program. These issues along possible solution options and
costs were presented to the Public Works/Finance Committee in June and
July. After discussion of the issues and costs, the Task Force was asked
to provide recommendations to the Council.  The recommendations report
is attached.  Some of the administrative recommendations can be absorbed
into the existing duties without additional costs, while law
enforcement, labor and additional equipment needs, cannot.  Some of the
costs have already been approved in the FY10 budget, while others were
not.  There are some costs that we simply cannot know because of the
wide-range of possibilities each snow season can bring.  There is
approximately $19,000 in identified costs that are not included in the
FY10 budget, not including an unknown $36/hour per officer for law
enforcement needs and $30 per tow for car towing.  There is $78,189 in
identified costs that are already approved in the FY10 budget.

ACTION:  Provide direction to staff on preferences for changes and/or
take such other action deemed appropriate.
